Wallpaper - Decorative Holiday II

Our Decorative Holiday II wallpaper brings a classic holiday story to life through a symmetrical composition framed by traditional seasonal motifs. Created by Beth Grove, the design centers on a stately nutcracker soldier dressed in a red uniform with gold detailing and a tall green hat, set against a deep black ground. Surrounding the figure are scrolling gold flourishes, green holly leaves, bright red bows, and delicate white snowflakes, all rendered with a soft, watercolor-like painterly character. The deep contrast gives the motif an ornamental quality that anchors a room with warmth and festive tradition. Like all our wall murals, it is made-to-measure to your exact wall dimensions and printed on PVC-free paper with a subtle surface structure.

In the room

Because the design uses a centered, symmetrical layout with high contrast, we see this working especially well on a defined accent wall where the full figure can take center stage. In a dining room, positioning the mural behind the main dining table creates an inviting backdrop for seasonal gatherings and celebratory meals. The dark background gives the scene visual depth, allowing the red, green, and gold accents to pop without overwhelming the surrounding space.

In an entryway, hallway, or front foyer, our mural wallpapers create an immediate sense of arrival, welcoming guests with classic holiday charm. The motif also translates wonderfully into a family living room or a dedicated playroom, where the playful character of the nutcracker soldier feels right at home. For rooms with standard ceiling heights, keeping the main wall area relatively free of tall storage units helps the vertical symmetry of the soldier and ornamental swirls remain visible from floor to ceiling.

Styling it

When styling around such a decorative and graphic pattern, we prefer letting the wallpaper serve as the primary visual focus while balancing it with understated furnishings.

• Pair the deep tones of the mural with warm, natural wood furniture such as a rustic oak dining table or a dark-stained console table to complement the traditional heritage feel of the illustration.
• Introduce understated metallic accents like brushed brass or warm gold candleholders, picture frames, or wall sconces that pick up the golden decorative swirls within the motif.
• Keep surrounding upholstery and table linens in solid, textured neutrals like off-white, cream, or deep forest green to provide visual breathing room around the vibrant pattern.

Color combinations

The verified palette within our wallpaper pairs a deep, saturated black background with rich primary accents: vibrant crimson red, forest green, warm gold, and crisp white snowflakes.

When choosing colors for adjacent painted walls or baseboards, a soft creamy white or warm alabaster provides a clean, bright contrast that keeps the room open and cheerful. If you prefer a moodier, more enveloping atmosphere, picking up the dark charcoal or black from the backdrop on surrounding trim creates a seamless, grounded look. Muted evergreen, dark olive, or deep burgundy also work naturally on nearby accents, echoing the traditional holiday tones without competing with the central figure.
